The cause of the accident was evidently due to incompetency or carelessness. On examination I found the nature of the roof to be what we call good, but that the props supporting the same were entirely too far apart; where the rock fell they were nearly nine feet apart, allowing the rock an opportunity to break, which it did, throwing one prop between. The rock that fell on him would weigh over a ton; his head was crushed on a sulphur that was in the gob. He was a single man and leaves no one dependent in this country.
